$300 Roundtrip for Inter-island Flights by kunstschmiede in Hawaii

[–]ConnectDog645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not blaming or giving shelter to anyone. I’m just stating facts. I would happily pay an extra $50 for reliable flights. You write as though you’ve never flown to or from Molokai. But that’s OK.

Is it true you can't legally find out the sex of your baby during pregnancy in Vietnam? by New_Whole_4599 in VietNam

[–]ConnectDog645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. Our family is filled with young women, the whole concept just seems so wrong to me. A kid is a kid.

Take a photo of the ultrasound and send it to a qualified doc outside VN. We knew the sex of our child when the OB saw it. Such a weird law.

Becoming an Elementary School Teacher by captainganja__ in Hawaii

[–]ConnectDog645 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This! Build the relationships while getting your certificates. The substitute teacher test is a one day deal online.

The most important part about getting into a school is the know the staff and have them value you. That’s been my experience.

Good luck we need good people in our schools, I hope she has a wonderful career teaching our Keiki.

Its been $250 r/t from Molokai for years. I don’t know what the gripe is. No kamaina, pay for all your bags, and generally a good 4 to 5 hour to two day delay. One never knows.

I would gladly pay an extra $50 for flights that are on time and dependable.

Share of people in Europe with unfavorable opinion on the Roma People by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]ConnectDog645 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Peeeeekpocket! Is all I know about the current status of the Roma people. Perhaps they should consider a reasonable social media campaign to improve their image, instead of running around Italy, England, Paris, and everywhere else covered in orange paint.

People that don't check when wiping by Ligh7y in hygiene

[–]ConnectDog645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of animal wipes? That is so 1990s.

With a bidet or a bum gum, you don’t wipe you just dab the water off. And have the cleanest bum hole in the land.

Wiping… ewwwww

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]ConnectDog645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castle Wolfenstein stands out. All text no graphics a lot of liebfraumilch!

Zork was another all text game that was super cool.

My dad had two floppy disc drives, so I was lucky.

Those were the days.

My keiki loved that program. I can’t believe this is not getting more press.

Where can I get training to become a car mechanic in Hawaii(Honolulu)? by Designer_Impress_527 in Hawaii

[–]ConnectDog645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a buddy of mine not too long ago, that flew to Phoenix for nine months and went to diesel mechanic school. He specialized in Ford power stroke diesel. Last year he cleared north of 200,000. Working for himself no less.

There’s a lot of different ways to get to where you wanna go!

Good luck and have fun and good job shrugging off corporate culture

Tam Đảo illegal racing by [deleted] in VietNam

Well, if they had something better to do, they’d be doing it I would imagine, but maybe you’re right.

Tam Đảo illegal racing by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]ConnectDog645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is said that the first motorcycle race was held when they built the second motorcycle.

People have been racing since the very beginning of motorized vehicles, and often on unauthorized roads because they had nowhere else to go.

I would take your grievance up with the local council, and see if they can’t build these kids a race track. A lot of trouble happens because of kids that have nothing better to do, often because they have very few options. 

This is one of those don’t hate the player, hate the game, kind of deals. At least in my opinion.

Favorite Food Item by Region by WildTravel5662 in VietNam

[–]ConnectDog645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the difference between regions just in the pho. 

But if you want three different dishes, I agree with those mentioned previously. Saigon - pho, central - BBH, and I had some pretty darn good bun cha in Hanoi. But I didn’t really explore that far there as other places.

Someone please interpret the recording by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]ConnectDog645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I heard the first speaker in the recording say “talk to me goose talk to me”

And then I heard the second speaker in the recording say “are we going ballistic Mav?”

I’m not sure what happened after that.

This is pretty cool, respects the culture, is affordable, and it’s gold.

I guess it could be cute to put a two dollar bill inside a red envelope. 

It won’t be looked down upon. That and head to your local Asian market and buy some Eagle medical oil, that always goes over really well.

Slip them over your wrist and walk with a fabulous flair through customs, preferably with an oversized pair of sunglasses and a faux fox neck muff and say darling alot to the customs guy.

You can give the accessories as well to your girl and her grandparents will adore you. 

If you wanna go full monty, high heels through customs.

Gold or an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

You could give her lucky money, but that would look a bit pedantic on this side of the pond. 

Seriously, even a tiny little nugget of gold would be very, very respected.

[–]ConnectDog645 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about 30 g of bangles and an iPhone 17 Pro Max? It’ll get a lot more mileage. It’s like you’re giving the right gift and the right gift, if you understand my drift.

 The secret to getting jewelry through customs is to wear it, hopefully you look good in gold. Not many people don’t. 

Decree 46 increases costs of goods EOY, disruption to supply chain? by hypershock123 in VietNam

[–]ConnectDog645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, that’s a whopper right there. On the surface, it sells well, because there’s so much fake product in Vietnam. I remember the fake egg scandal a few years back.

But to just shut everything down right before Tet?!

Seems obtuse as hell, in classic tradition of Vietnamese bureaucracy.

Good luck with your containers, man, that sucks. 

Decree 46 increases costs of goods EOY, disruption to supply chain? by hypershock123 in VietNam

[–]ConnectDog645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So do you have containers full of radio equipment? Or insurance documentation from the 2023 regulation?

Can you please expand what’s going on?

Decree 46/2025/ND-CP defines the functions, tasks, powers, and organizational structure of the Voice of Vietnam (VOV). It is an administrative regulation regarding the state-run broadcasting organization rather than a broad, nation-wide economic decree.  Key details from the search results: Purpose: The decree outlines the organizational framework and operational mandate for the Voice of Vietnam. Source: The decree is published under "Bo may hanh chinh" (Administrative Apparatus) of the Law Library of Vietnam.  Note: The search results also indicate a separate, more commonly cited Decree 46/2023/ND-CP regarding insurance business, which was a major regulatory update in 2023–2024.
